Friction, on Sep 20 2012 - 08:02, said: The major issue I have with the current way that rematches had to
be "requested" and the bracket not being completely reset is the
fact that if a team didn't have someone online so lets say they're
normal and have "jobs" and can't be on the forums during the
afternoon they would have missed their chance and
forfeited. Well honestly shouldn't you have done it the
other way around and given everyone a rematch and then teams that
didn't want one could request to keep the scores already?This shows a very poor level of coordination and forethought in decisions being made and I am very disappointed. This is setting a precedent which I hope is not allowed to repeat in the future.
You're not only cheating your own player base but undermining your ability to maintain a sportsmanlike atmosphere by allowing teams a rematch for a glitch when in the following post you said might repeat itself? If map side is truly so important in results then shouldn't all tournaments be double elimination or have a random map side start location to prevent bracket seeding from giving a team a significant advantaging starting on one side or another?
lord_farquad: As I've stated before, read the rules:
If server issues arise, the battle will be rescheduled by the admin and the two teams will not be disqualified
Rescheduled battles will take place during the next available off day, or immediately if no off day is available This requires me to reschedule the matches if the rules are pressed. As I did not personally think that a loss of 3 games was likely due to a lack of side changes I did not see the need to force everyone to redo them. However I had to make the option available as the rules have this statement in them, and if a team would like to press them then that is their prerogative.
To those making accusations of favoritism and fairness, I'll also make a statement, please be careful how you do it, as it can be considered as disrespecting an official if done improperly. You may also want to consider the fact that this whole event and my resolution to it only creates far more work for me (and I'm on my vacation
), however it seemed
(and still seems) the fair thing to do. Furthermore I was not the
only one involved in this decision, so I still believe this to be
the best resolution.
I encourage any team that has an issue to reconsider and try to view it from the perspective of both teams and the rules.
